I do like this race.
I don't even know what my 100mi PB is now. But I would bet I can't beat it and nor could I win the event and that's where one of the problems lie. Why would I enter a race that I know isn't going to be as good as I've done previously?
Why would I put myself through all that pain of training, the stress of competing, etc. all to go slower than I have done before and/or be beaten by 20 blokes - half of whom are physically faster and half that have just spent more time/money aero testing.
